{"product_id":"long-live-evil-time-of-iron-2","title":"Long Live Evil (Time of Iron, 1)","description":"ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES \"BEST SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY OF 2024\" AND \"BEST ROMANCE NOVELS OF 2024\"\n\nTHIS IS A TALE FOR EVERYONE WHO’S EVER FALLEN FOR THE VILLAIN…\n\nThis adult epic fantasy debut from Sarah Rees Brennan puts the reader in the villain's shoes, for an adventure that is both \"brilliant\" (Holly Black) and \"supremely satisfying\" (Leigh Bardugo). Expect a rogue's gallery of villains including an axe wielding maid, a shining knight with dark moods, a homicidal bodyguard, and a playboy spymaster with a golden heart and a filthy reputation.\n\nWhen her whole life collapsed, Rae still had books. Dying, she seizes a second chance at living: a magical bargain that lets her enter the world of her favorite fantasy series.\n\nShe wakes in a castle on the edge of a hellish chasm, in a kingdom on the brink of war. Home to dangerous monsters, scheming courtiers and her favourite fictional character: the Once and Forever Emperor. He’s impossibly alluring, as only fiction can be. And in this fantasy world, she discovers she's not the heroine, but the villainess in the Emperor's tale.\n\nSo be it. The wicked are better dressed, with better one-liners, even if they're doomed to bad ends. She assembles the wildly disparate villains of the story under her evil leadership, plotting to change their fate. But as the body count rises and the Emperor's fury increases, it seems Rae and her allies may not survive to see the final page.\n\n \"Absolutely wonderful.”―Kirkus (Starred)\n\n \"Brennan's adult fantasy debut is two great stories in one: the romantasy in the background and Rae’s adventure in the foreground.\"―Booklist (Starred)\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0316568716\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0316568716.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rees Brennan, Sarah\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in acceptable condition.
